How to Make the Ultimate Healthy Chocolate Truffles

1. Mix

Using a fork, combine all ingredients in a bowl. The fork allows the mixture to pass through more efficiently, making the process quicker and easier.

💡 Tip: It may seem like there's too much cocoa powder and not enough liquid—just keep mixing! The ingredients will come together with patience. Towards the end, you can mash the mixture with your fork or switch to a spatula to fold everything in.

2. Chill

The mixture will be a little sticky at first. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to help it firm up, making it easier to handle.

3. Roll

Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to shape into truffles. It can get a bit messy, but wiping your hands with a lightly moistened paper towel between each truffle helps minimize sticking.

4. Chill Again (Optional but Recommended!)

For an even better taste and texture, refrigerate the truffles for 24-48 hours. The flavors will meld beautifully, and the truffles will become even smoother inside. If you have the patience, it's worth the wait!

5. Add Extra Flavors

For variety, roll your truffles in melted chocolate, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut. Get creative and enjoy!
